Thanks Bridget! I appreciate it. No, my mother in law hasn't completely
decided against anything yet... The decision is hers, we'll support her in
what ever her decision is... Yes, they did do x rays on my daughter and
husband. We'll know how they came out on Wednesday. I'm guessing that
they're fine though, because they told us up front, that if anything looked
questionable that she wouldn't be allowed to come home. So, it must be ok.
But her skin test had a 12X14mm reaction. They don't worry much unless it's
over 10mm... So, since she was negative last year, they both were. Oh well,
thanks for the prayers, we can really use them right now. Joan
